Social Security Lawyer Helping You Get the Benefits You Deserve
Is your representative an attorney?
Because a Social Security claim is a Federal administrative claim, Federal law allows for less stringent representation guidelines than the State of Florida. Those who represent you in your legal proceedings up to the Hearing level may not be attorneys. Unfortunately, the less stringent Federal/administrative standards often mislead claimants regarding representative qualifications. When you hire David Magann to represent you, you can rest easy knowing that you have a qualified, real attorney fighting for you.
Get the benefits that are owed to you.
The Social Security Administration defines disability as the inability to engage in substantial, gainful activity by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment which has lasted or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than 12 months. Even if you have not been disabled for 12 consecutive months you may apply for benefits.
Knowledgeable Social Security Claims Attorneys
You should not have a non-attorney clerk at your hearing.
This seems obvious, but several Florida law firms and any company identifying themselves as “experts,” some of whom are advertising on TV, are sending non-attorney clerks to Social Security Hearings simply because it's cheaper for them to do so rather than have an actual attorney appear.
How in any way is this helping the client or claimant to have poser clerks represent you? It’s not, it is just a cost saving to that particular company and is in no way beneficial to the client. Why pay the same to a clerk when you can have and are entitled to an actual Florida Bar licensed attorney?
The best way to increase your chances of receiving a favorable decision on your claim is to hire an experienced attorney to represent you. Statistically, those who hire an attorney to represent them are much more likely to receive benefits than those who do not.
It is easy to be misled by a multitude of non-lawyer advertising in the Social Security Disability process. Don’t make the mistake of being fooled by absurd success rates or false promises. Contact us today to see how we can help you with your claim.
